Hey Guys,

Thank you so much for all the well wishes. The winter cold I had last week during the Retreat turned into a touch of pneumonia. I am feeling so much better today. Dosho, I sure hope your son feels better too.

Unlike America, were they send you home on the same day as your brain surgery, Japanese hospital tend not to want to send anybody home(and they treat you like royalty, throw every test at you, and it will cost me maybe the equivalent of $180 US ... political statement intended. Our European brothers and sisters may understand). So, doctor says I should stay a day or so longer. I put this Zen thing to the test yesterday while pretty miserable, and it works. The food is terrible, but Zen practice helps with that too. The nurses are pretty, but Zen practice helps with that too.

I had to look up. Fugen's Krya pa dig OJ ... It means "Get Well". But he is either wishing that to American football player/"man who shows why anger is a Buddhist issue" ... OJ Simpson, or saying I should drink lots of Orange Juice.

Hi.

You did you figure that one out? :twisted:
As for the OJ part, OJ= Onshi Jundo...

Re: Jundo is not available now

I'm pleased to hear that you're back home and feeling better. Also pleased that the first trial of the "caring alert" system has been a success. Thank you to Mina and Taigu.

best wishes,

Thank you again, everyone. Not home yet, but doctor says real soon.

I really appreciate all hospital and medical workers this week ... from the cleaning lady to the book lady volunteer to the doctors and nurses and everyone else who keeps these places running. Many bows. Gassho, J

Re: Jundo is not available now

I am back home now.

Thank you again to everyone for all the kind wishes here, in emails, on Facebook, Beliefnet, Twitter and Youtube ... I heard from a lot of folks who wrote for the first time but had been out there, some of whom are sick themselves. Our thoughts and well wishes to them too.
May they be healthy and at ease in all their ills ...

Apparently, many of them sit with our Sangha while in bed due to health.

Doctor says to take it easy for some days, a great excuse to sit around the house, read some books, watch tv, avoid my "Samu" ... under doctors orders! 8) Even Old General Dogen told his sick monks to take it a bit easier when sick ...
